Leading evidence: 'Use toyo 888s and will never go back' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check dates' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suggestion
They also like some heat in them too but like all track tyres expect pressures to rise about 7psi when they're warm so they will benefit from being bled a little on a spirited run - just remember to inflate them again before your next day out.

Suggestion
All this being said, these track day tyres don't come in each and every size, so I'd probably run the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2s on the 997.

I'm picking up some wheels tonight that have a part worn set fitted at the moment.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Anyone here using these ?
I'm picking up some wheels tonight that have a part worn set fitted at the moment. They seem to get good reviews as budget trackday tyres.
bloody great tyres!!
people seem to turn their noses up at them but loads of grip and they work in the wet/damp too. have been on track on them and for the ££ they are just brilliant.
they are no Pirelli trofeo or Michelin Cup but still good.
:yeah:
Stonking tyres for the money. I have a set to go on my new wheels for this spring. Purely road use in my case but I've had them on track cars before and they're fantastic.
They don't need loads of heat in them or anything to work, hence they're a great road and track tyre.
£390 for 4 (2x 285/30/18 & 2x 225/40/18) compared to about £800 for Michelins.
Not sure I'd use them daily in ice and floods but that's only because I've never tried. For a summer car though they're superb.
Nice stiff sidewalls too. Great for the rears with our engines being back there. :thumb:
ETA - with yours being used check the dates. Any tyre will deteriorate over time and I don't like using any beyond 5 years old.
Earlier batches were known for getting small lines/splits across the tread. This is harmless and caused by the moulding process but is a bit disconcerting the first time you see it.
I never hear of it now though.
Nice, I'll give them a chance then. After checking the dates.
NLW73 - every time I see your posts I keep meaning to mention that you're local to me - I'm in Owlsmoor. But I rarely drive my car so you won't have seen me out & about !
I was looking for some track day tyres for the 944 and found these got great reviews and were also a good price when compared. I just need to get around to buying some.
I have a set of these on some 996 17" Twists that I ran as track/road tyres on my 944T.
They're a decent compromise for most conditions but they don't deal with st ding water particularly well due to the lack of radial grooves. They also like some heat in them too but like all track tyres expect pressures to rise about 7psi when they're warm so they will benefit from being bled a little on a spirited run - just remember to inflate them again before your next day out.
I found that when pushed hard on track they did start to go off a little after 20 mins but then again so does the driver so no problem there.
I was going to try these but chickened out as Id probably be using the car over winter.
Another thing is I think there only 6mm from new where most other tyres are 8mm IIRC?
They're a good value for money track day tyre with a low treadwear rating. I have them on a third set of rims for my other car. They need a little heat but don't go off too quickly, unlike Toyo 888s. They're definitely not fantastic in the wet, but I managed to drive 600km across Sweden in the rain without crashing...
We have also used Yokohama Advan Neova AD08, Nitto NT01 and Kumho v70a, all of which are compromised in the wet. The Yokos probably have the best combination of grip to actual wear. All this being said, these track day tyres don't come in each and every size, so I'd probably run the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2s on the 997.
I've read that these fit a bit big. Is this the case or will I be fine ordering the same size as the OE tires?
The car is 2002 carrera with 18 wheels (if 2wd vs 4wd makes any difference).
Thanks in advance
Ive got 225/40/18 & 285/30/18 on 8" & 10" rims and they fit well. I was also very pleased with their performance on track.
FWIW, the old ones went straight in the bin, the new ones are not noisy.
